Investigation of a Ni-based steam reforming catalyst developed for the coating of microstructures

Ni Catalyst Coating on Fecralloy® Microchanneled Foils and Testing for Methane Steam Reforming

“…Concerning the coating of microchannels, Wang et al [11] reported, on a catalyst slurry preparation method for the steam reforming of methanol, a particle size in the slurry between 1 and 3 lm. Stefanescu et al [18] also reported a grain size of 2-3 lm for the alumina coating in microchannels. In both cases, no details were given about the effect of this parameter on the final activity of the coatings.…”

“…There are some detailed studies dedicated to the catalyst support washcoating [18,19] but without final activity data of the prepared coatings.…”

Methane Steam Reforming in Microchannel Reactors: Technical Challenges and Performances Benefits

“…Although a catalyst can be deposited inside a microreactor after assembly (see for a good overview of the different methods [13,14]), the preferred method is to washcoat the platelets before assembly because it permits a better control of the layer thickness and homogeneity [15][16][17].…”
